VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) – Eber Bonilla Lopez of Pomona was convicted of all 27 felony counts connected to a multimillion-dollar organized retail theft scheme.
According to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office, the Ventura County jury found Bonilla Lopez guilty of the following charged counts:
13 Counts of PC 490.4(a)(1)–Organized Retail Theft Three Counts of PC 487(a)–Grand Theft Three Counts of PC 496(a)–Receiving Stolen Property Over $950 Eight Counts of PC 182(a)(1)–Conspiracy to Commit a Crime"This conviction is a significant step toward holding accountable those responsible for a sophisticated criminal enterprise that caused millions of dollars in losses to businesses across Southern California," shared Ventura County District Attorney Nasarenko. "Organized retail theft is not a victimless crime. These operations hurt businesses, impact employees and ultimately drive-up costs for consumers. We will continue working with our law enforcement partners to dismantle these criminal networks and ensure those responsible face consequences."
Bonilla Lopez was one of nine people charged in August of last year after an investigation into a retail theft operation targeting Home Depot stores across the region shared the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.
The investigation resulted in the identification of two crews that had repeatedly stolen high-value electrical items including dimmer switches, circuit breakers and electrical outlets detailed prosecutors.
Local prosecutors shared that the stolen merchandise was then supplied to a network of people who resold them through online marketplaces and wholesale businesses explained the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.
The Ventura County Organized Retail Theft Task Force noted that the crews have been connected to over 600 thefts in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties and Home Depot estimates the scheme is responsible for at least $10 million in stolen merchandise over several years.
Investigators were able to recover at least $3.7 million in stolen Home Depot property added the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.
"This verdict sends a clear message that organized retail theft crews will be held accountable for the damage they cause," stated Senior Deputy District Attorney Brandon Ross who prosecuted the case. "This was an evidence-dense case, and we are grateful to the jurors for their careful consideration of the evidence and their unanimous verdict on all 27 counts and special allegations."
Bonilla Lopez is currently scheduled for a sentencing hearing on Dec. 7, 2026, and he remains in custody without bail until his next court appearance shared the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.
